No Armenian will believe that being in Armenia, you have not seen the Queen of Armenia, the blue Lake Sevan. Sevan is the largest lake in Armenia and one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world.

Nowdays many luxary hotels, rest houses and mensions are build on the shores of the lake. Lake Sevan is one of the most popular summer vacation destinations in Armenia. Both the locals and foreign tourists travel here to rest, to swim, to sunbath and to try the excellent Sevan trout.

The swimming season starts from mid-June and lasts till mid-September. During the summer the water temperature on its surface reaches 18Â° - 22Â°C. In the evening the air temperature decreases and it is recommended to have warmer clothes. Since Sevan is a high-altitude lake, if precautions are not taken, one can get sunburnt, so preventive measures are recommended.
